Hailed by critics around the world as a major theatrical event of historic proportions, Gatzis a bravura feat celebrated for its singular and dazzling literary alchemy. Gatz is not a retelling of the The Great Gatsby,
but a revelatory, seven-hour enactment of experiencing the novel, as F.
Scott Fitzgerald’s American masterpiece is delivered word for word,
brought to life with absolutely startling dramatic effect by a cast of
13. The audacious New York theater ensemble Elevator Repair Service
opens the drama in the shabby offices of a mysterious small
business—where an employee finds a copy of the book on his cluttered
desk and, for reasons unknown, begins reading the novel out loud. His
coworkers hardly react at first, but, after a series of strange
coincidences, they appear to take on the roles of The Great Gatsby’s
characters. Is the reader, “Nick”—played by The Wooster Group’s Scott
Shepherd, in a superhuman turn—merely reading the novel, or he is being
personally transformed by it?

Parents
of students at Pasadena Waldorf School (PWS) have been meeting in workshops to
create craft objects for the 27th annual Elves’ Faire. Sponsored by
the school every November on the last Saturday before Thanksgiving, the Elves’
Faire is open to the public and offers entertainment, food, games and unique
holiday shopping for families to enjoy.

All
the crafts sold at the Elves’ Faire are handmade, including the famous “Waldorf
Dolls” crafted by parents for the Doll Room. Made from wool, cotton, and other
natural materials each doll is hand-stitched with care and imbued with a unique
personality. They range in size from tiny lavender-scented gnomes up to
large-scale dolls of 16”-18” and are perfect gifts for children young and old.
Other stand-out attractions include King Arthur’s Market, where hand painted
wooden swords and shields dominate the realm. The Angel Room offers a special
place for the youngest shoppers to pick out items for family and friends,
assisted by student “angel” helpers.

This
year offers the addition of a “Holiday Boutique” Silent Auction, where the
public can come to bid on unique and wonderful holiday gifts. The fantastic,
one-of-a-kind holiday shopping experience extends from the Doll Room and Silent
Auction to the school’s signature store, The Wishing Well, which will also be
open with specials and expanded inventory ranging from books and toys to
crafting supplies and more.

With
attendance expected to exceed 4,000 visitors, the Elves’ Faire is a destination
to remember. Come to play, where children can joust, climb and wind through
mazes or sit and watch puppet shows and roaming knights in armor. Come to feast
while enjoying live music. Please support our zero-waste mission and bring your
own beverage cup! Water is available free throughout the event; there are also
many areas to refresh, including the children’s Tea Garden and the Jack Frost
Bake Shoppe. Admission is always free and the Faire will run from 10am to 4pm
on November 17, 2012.

Pasadena
Waldorf School, founded in 1979, is one of over 1,000 Waldorf schools worldwide
with over 90 years of experience offering inspired education. Pasadena Waldorf
High School, which opened this year, joins 40 other Waldorf high schools now
operating in North America. Waldorf education is the fastest growing
independent school movement in the world.

Stanley Kubrick was known for exerting complete artistic control over
his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked.
The exhibition covers the breadth of Kubrick’s practice, beginning with
his early photographs for Look magazine, taken in the 1940s,
and continuing with his groundbreaking directorial achievements of the
1950s through the 1990s. His films are represented through a selection
of annotated scripts, production photography, lenses and cameras, set
models, costumes, and props. In addition, the exhibition explores Napoleon and The Aryan Papers,
two projects that Kubrick never completed, as well as the technological
advances developed and utilized by Kubrick and his team. By featuring
this legendary film auteur and his oeuvre as the focus of his first
retrospective in the context of an art museum, the exhibition
reevaluates how we define the artist in the 21st century, and
simultaneously expands upon LACMA’s commitment to exploring the
intersection of art and film.Learn More Here...
